And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses , saying,
2
Command the sons of Israel , that they send ··out from the camp every leper, and everyone that has··a··flow, and everyone who is unclean on account of a soul*;
3
from male even··to female you shall send ··out, to▵ outside the camp you shall send them; that they defile not their camp , in the midst of which I◦ abide◦.
4
And the sons of Israel did so, and sent · them ·out, to▵ outside the camp ; as◦ Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses , so did the sons of Israel .
5
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses , saying,
6
Speak to▵ the sons of Israel , When◦ a man ◦ or woman shall do any sin of man , trespassing for a trespass against◦ Jehovah , and that◦ soul be··guilty;
7
and they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall return his guilt with its principal◦, and add onto◦ it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he is held··as··guilty.
8
But if the man ◦ have◦ no redeemer to turn··back the guilt to▵ him, let the guilt be turned··back to Jehovah , to the priest; apart from the ram of the atonements , by which an atonement · shall be ·made for him.
9
And every uplifting◦ of◦ all the holy things of the sons of Israel , which they offer to the priest, shall be his.
10
And every man ’s◦ holy things shall be his; whatever▵ any man ◦ gives to the priest, it shall be his.
11
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses , saying,
12
Speak to▵ the sons of Israel , and say to▵ them, to each◦ man ◦*, If▫ his wife deviate, and trespass a trespass against◦ him,
13
and a man ◦ lie with◦ her, lying··down with seed, and it be hidden ◦ from the eyes of her husband ◦, and be hidden , and she◦ be defiled, and there be no witness against◦ her, and she◦ be not caught;
14
and the spirit of jealousy pass over him, and he be··jealous of his wife , and she◦ be defiled; or the spirit of jealousy pass over him, and he be··jealous of his wife , and she◦ be not defiled;
15
then shall the man ◦ bring his wife to▵ the priest, and he shall bring her offering for▵ her, the tenth part of the ephah of barley meal ; he shall pour not oil on it, nor put ◦ frankincense on it; for it◦ is a gift··offering of jealousy , a gift··offering of remembrance , causing iniquity to be remembered .
16
And the priest shall bring· her ·near , and stand her before Jehovah ;
17
and the priest shall take holy water in a pottery◦ vessel; and of the dust that is on◦ the floor of the Habitation the priest shall take, and put ◦ it into▵ the water ;
18
and the priest shall stand the woman before Jehovah , and expose the head of the woman , and put ◦ the gift··offering of the remembrance on her palms , it◦ is the gift··offering of jealousy ; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water which causes the curse.
19
And the priest shall make her a promise, and say to▵ the woman , If a man ◦ has not lain with◦ thee, and if thou hast not deviated to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband ◦, thou shalt be··innocent from the bitter water of these curses;
20
but if▫ thou◦ hast deviated to another instead of thy husband ◦, and if▫ thou be defiled, and a man ◦ has lain with thee besides thy husband ◦;
21
and the priest shall promise the woman with the promise of the oath , and the priest shall say to the woman , May Jehovah put ◦ thee for an oath and for a curse* in the midst of thy people, when Jehovah causes* thy thigh to fall in*, and thy belly to swell;
22
and the waters that cause these curses shall come into thy bowels, to make the belly swell, and the thigh to fall in; and the woman shall say , Amen, amen.
23
And the priest shall write these oaths in a book , and he shall wipe· them ·away in▵ the bitter waters;
24
and he shall give· the woman the bitter water ·to··drink◦ that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall come ··into her, to become bitter.
25
And the priest shall take the gift··offering of jealousy out··of the woman ’s hand , and shall wave the gift··offering before Jehovah , and offer it at▵ the altar ;
26
and the priest shall take··a··handful from the gift··offering , a memorial of it, and burn· it ·as··incense upon the altar , and after this he shall give· the woman the water ·to··drink◦.
27
And he shall give· her a ·drink◦ of the water , and it shall be, if she be defiled, and have trespassed a trespass against her husband ◦, that the water that causes the curse shall come into her as bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall in; and the woman shall be for an oath among her people .
28
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean , then she◦ shall be··innocent, and shall be sown with seed .
29
This is the law of jealousies, when▵ a wife has deviated to another instead of her husband ◦, and is defiled;
30
or a man ◦, when▵ the spirit of jealousy pass upon him, and he be··jealous over his wife , and shall stand the woman before Jehovah , and the priest shall make upon her all this law.
31
And the man ◦ shall be··innocent from iniquity , and this◦ woman shall bear her iniquity .
